PERSONAL STATEMENT
As a multi-sport athlete I had several tough choices to make this past year. Given my competitive nature and drive to compete it was hard for me to make a choice to concentrate on a single sport and put all my energy into being the best possible athlete. Since doing so I have found out what I have always known that Volleyball really is in my heart. I have always been part of our High School Varsity Program playing outside and middle, I have also played on Club Teams the last 5 years and in on N

PERSONAL INFORMATION		  
Describe Your Playing Style?: Being a well-rounded athlete allows me to be very quick on my feet. I am aware of the court and make good decisions at the right time. My energy both on and off the court pretty much reflects my personality. I strive for excellence and always look for opportunities to improve as a player and leader on the court, as well as a student off the court. On the court I operate as a team and look for my energy and enthusiasm to rub off on my team mates and deliver the results that meet all of our expectations. While everyone has off days, I can truly say I have always found ways to lift the spirit of the team and step up myself when these incidents arise.

Other activites and interests: During my first 2 years of high school I was a 3 sport athlete which kept me competitive all during the school year. In my spare time I have been involved in training my dogs in Agility and have been doing this for 7 years. My competitive spirit has rubbed off on my border collie who not only s full of energy but looks to improve and please each time she is in an event or simply practicing.
Who's been the biggest influence on my sports career and why?: My biggest influence is my cousin Justine Hovden. She is currently playing soccer at Baylor on a scholarship and plays on a Club Team that in 2011 won the National Championship . Justine is one of the most balanced and dedicated people I know, she has balanced her academics, athletics and personal life like no one I know. She has allowed me to realize that if you set your goals ad manage yourself that anything is possible.
About Me: Overall I just love to compete, no matter what it is! I consider myself a good leader on the volleyball court because I try and keep everyone positive and focused. I form good relationships with my coaches, teachers and teammates which I believe is very important. I love to have fun and joke around but I also know when to be serious!
